Big Data Management and Cloud Solutions

Attunity is increasingly recognized across the industry as a leading provider of Big Data management solutions, including its award-winning data integration and management offerings that provide data replication and ingest with real-time change data capture (CDC), data warehouse automation, data usage analytics, data connectivity, cloud data delivery, and test data management. In the second quarter of 2016, the Company's solutions were recognized by a number of industry sources, including CIO magazine, CRN and Database Trends and Applications (DBTA) Magazine.

The Company made several product announcements during the second quarter of 2016, further expanding the capabilities of its existing solutions, as well as introducing new innovative solutions to the market.

Attunity expanded its collaboration with Microsoft Corp. to enable faster and easier adoption of Microsoft SQL Server 2016, the latest version of Microsoft's market leading database and data warehousing platform running on-premises or on Microsoft Azure cloud, which became generally available in the second quarter of 2016. By utilizing Attunity Replicate's high-performance data replication and CDC technologies, this cooperation is aimed at simplifying and accelerating zero-downtime migrations from systems like Oracle and other databases to SQL Server 2016.

The cloud continues to be an area of growth where enterprises are looking to migrate databases to cloud platforms, as well as leverage the cloud to analyze their data. These customer needs require an efficient and reliable way to move data from their data centers. We believe we are well positioned to accommodate this growing need with our innovative products as well as our alliances with leading global providers, such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft and Google.

During the second quarter of 2016, the Company launched Attunity Visibility for Hadoop, which features enhanced technology that enables comprehensive data usage analytics for large-scale and fast-growing Hadoop data lake environments. This new and innovative solution is designed to provide a unified platform from which users are able to analyze usage across enterprise Big Data systems.

Demand for Attunity Compose, which was launched earlier this year, continued to build in the second quarter of 2016, with several deals completed and a growing pipeline of potential new deals.

Consulting Services

There continues to be an increased demand from customers requiring our consulting services for their larger scale and enterprise-wide implementations. Attunity continues to make investments in building out its consulting group as well as engaging system integration partners in order to address this demand.

Financial Results for Q2 2016

GAAP total revenue for the second quarter of 2016 increased 16% to $14.2 million, compared with $12.2 million for the same period in 2015. This includes license revenue of $8.0 million, which increased 17% compared with the same period in 2015 (the license revenue in the second quarter of 2016 includes $2.6 million from a $4.5 million, three-year strategic Hadoop deal signed during the quarter), and maintenance and service revenue, which grew 15% to $6.3 million, compared with $5.4 million for the same period in 2015.

Non-GAAP total revenue for the second quarter of 2016 increased 14% to $14.2 million, compared with $12.5 million for the same period in 2015. This includes non-GAAP maintenance and service revenue of $6.3 million, which grew 9% from the same period in 2015 (license revenue of $8.0 million was not used as a non-GAAP measure).*

GAAP operating expenses for the second quarter of 2016 increased 44% to $18.5 million, compared with $12.9 million for the second quarter of 2015. The increase in expenses is primarily related to the Company's global expansion, with total headcount increasing by 40 people over the past year - including 30 additions to the sales, sales support, marketing and consulting services teams - to accommodate growing demand for Attunity Replicate and Compose. The increase in operating expenses in the second quarter of 2016 also includes a $2.1 million charge for partial impairment of acquired technology associated with the Appfluent acquisition.

Non-GAAP operating expenses for the second quarter of 2016 increased 30% to $14.4 million, compared with $11.1 million for the second quarter of 2015.*

GAAP operating loss for the second quarter of 2016 was $4.3 million, compared with $0.7 million for the same period in 2015.

Non-GAAP operating loss was $0.2 million for the second quarter of 2016, compared with operating income of $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2015. Non-GAAP operating loss for the second quarter of 2016 excludes a total of $4.1 million in expenses, including a $2.1 million charge for partial impairment of acquired technology associated with the Appfluent acquisition, and $2.0 million in expenses and amortization associated with acquisitions and equity-based compensation expenses. This is compared with $2.1 million in adjustments, expenses and amortization associated with acquisitions and equity-based compensation expenses for the second quarter of 2015.*

GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2016 was $2.9 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $0.8 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2015.

Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2016 was $0.1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income of $1.1 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the same period in 2015. Non-GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2016 excludes approximately $3.0 million in expenses, amortization and impairment charges associated with acquisitions, equity-based compensation expenses and tax benefits related to non-GAAP adjustments of $1.1 million, compared with approximately $1.9 million in adjustments, expenses and amortization associated with acquisitions, equity-based compensation expenses and tax benefits related to non-GAAP adjustments of $0.3 million for the same period in 2015.*

Cash and cash equivalents were $8.9 million as of June 30, 2016, compared with $10.0 million as of March 31, 2016. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the second quarter of 2016 were mainly impacted by earn-out payment of $1.2 million to former Hayes shareholders.

Appfluent acquired technology, which was acquired in March 2015, decreased by $2.1 million to $2.6 million as of June 30, 2016, due to the partial impairment. This accounting charge was taken in order to reflect the fair value of the technology following delayed sales trends with longer sales cycles of Attunity Visibility, which we believe is primarily due to the innovative nature of this solution, aimed at optimizing enterprise data warehouses with Hadoop.

Shareholders' equity as of June 30, 2016 decreased to $34.5 million, compared with $36.4 million as of March 31, 2016.
